Eritrea. Southern Debud Zone. Afdeyu. Small village in the country. Just after fetched water from a modern concrete dwell, two women and a dunkey return home on a tiny footpath in the mountain. They walk uphill and carry each on their back a heavy plastic jerrican full of water. People, but also cattle, come every day to fetch clean water, which is indispensable for both human and animal life. © 2002 Didier Ruef
